this weekend i remembered why.
i remembered what two less scheduled days feels like.
after a busy week, we all welcome the change in pace and the chance at togetherness.
sure there are still to dos: games and practices, errands and chores, and play dates and plans.
but there is more time to linger, reconnect, read, walk, talk, bike, bake and just be together in between the have tos and shoulds.
after football practice friday, we went out for dinner to celebrate the end of the first full week.
it didn't matter that it was closer to 9 o'clock than 8 o'clock.
miss bit filled her purse with coins and disappeared in the arcade until it was time to eat.
saturday we enjoyed friends, pizza and the badger game (until the wee end when the refs fouled).
it didn't matter that the game didn't end until 1:10 a.m.
we had nowhere pressing to be that morning.
and it really felt like fall sunday morning so i was glad to batten down the hatches.
i made sure it smelled like fall too.
i used my baker again...this time to make monkey bread for breakfast.
it was gone before lunch.
we all mostly did our own thing...things, but side by side.
i read, wrote, made soup and cleaned out closets.
i finished one book and started two.
coach vacuumed the entire house with our exciting new vacuum, took a bee-free bike ride with miss bit and spiced up a pork roast for dinner.
t. bone was busy with friends.
and miss bit just helped and hung out.
before we knew it, it was sunday eve.
i have decided that sunday may be the most fleeting of all.
the first day of the week, or the last day depending on how you look at it, may expire faster than any other of the seven.
we enjoyed family dinner, geared up for another good and full week, and were in bed early for long sleeps.
i heart weekends.
plain. simple. true.
Hands at 10 and 2.
These are lively Bucky fans!
T. Bone suggested icing for the Monkey bread and he was right.
Fall day fun.
